Texans overwhelmingly passed a proposed constitutional amendment on November 4, 2014 that will provide billions more in reliable transportation funding. In the first year alone, Texas will invest $1.7 billion in our state’s infrastructure – without new taxes, fees or debt.

The Senate Finance Committee took up a constitutional amendment that would divert half of the oil and gas taxes from the Rainy Day Fund into a state highway fund. If it passes (likely passage in Senate, but House is more doubtful), it will have to be approved by Texas voters in the fall.
